About this calculator
A clothes dryer's running cost per load comes from its rated power draw, the run time, and the local electricity rate: energy (kWh) = power (kW) × hours, then cost = energy × price per kWh. A typical electric dryer draws around 2–3 kW, so a one-hour cycle uses roughly 2–3 kWh.
This calculator surfaces both figures — the kWh consumed and the resulting dollar cost — per load, so households can see the real cost of drying laundry and compare it against line-drying or a shorter, higher-efficiency cycle.
